ups. you are right.

martin@theresia:~$ v -a /boot/pongo/tmp/
total 20
drwxr-xr-t    2 root     root         1024 Sep 24 13:15 .
drwxr-xr-x   18 root     root         1024 Sep 23 22:46 ..

But that means the permission are wrong in base-test_0.3.tar.gz. 

But I think that is not the whole problem. I invoked man as root and
got the error. strace gives:

lstat("/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9002, ...})
 = 0
open("/usr/share/man/man1/man.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directo
ry)
stat("/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9002, ...}) 
= 0
umask(022)                              = 022
geteuid()                               = 6
getpid()                                = 819

unlink("/tmp/zman00819aaa")             = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/tmp/zman00819aaa", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644) = -1 EACCES (Permission
 denied)
write(2, "man: ", 5)                    = 5
write(2, "can\'t create a temporary filenam"..., 33) = 33
write(2, ": Permission denied", 19)     = 19
write(2, "\n", 1)                       = 1
ioctl(0, TCSETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
exit(2)                                 = ?

I suppose it is a problem with with tmp on a root filesystem mounted
via kernelnfs.

If you need help, please let me know.
